Hi there archie204,
Firstly, welcome to CompuForums. I hope that you can visit our forum often in the future and post - rather than just receiving our help and advice, and then never visiting again. We provide our help for free, and all we ask in return is that you participate in our forum and refer your friends, or consider a premium membership. Not giving back to the community once we have helped you is stealing.

When you say "internet radio", do you mean an online radio station or an actual wireless radio hardware device?

A Wireless radio hardware device

Could you provide more detail, such as the manufacturer and model of the device, your ISP, the radio station you are trying to connect to, and what type wireless network you are using [such as it's security settings?]

I am trying to connect a Magicbox internet radio to my wireless network (Belkin router), my ISP is Blueyonder and I have Norton internet security. I get the message Port 80 blocked when I try to connect.

Where does this "Port 80 Blocked" message appear - on your computer or the device? Please note that I strongly suggest that you avoid Norton "security" products.

Thanks for advice!!! Will maybe change! The message appears on the radio

Also - what sort of encryption, if any are you using on your router? The device can only work with WEP [which is quite insecure, but it's not too bad if you live in a remote location]. Also, the port 80 blocked message may be due to Blueyonder - since they became Virgin Media the standards of service have really fallen. Also, what speed are you on with them? They now have download limits that mean, for example, if you download more than 350mb between 4pm and 12am, they will slow your service down [possibly causing problems using streamed internet radio]. I know this as I've been with Telewest since before they were Telewest [and now Virgin Media], but I doubt that I'll be staying with them for long.

Not sure what sort of encryption I have sorry! Now getting mesages DNS server invalid and DHCP failure

This sounds like a problem with your Belkin router [I also happen to have one, generally good but sometimes has a few technical glitches]. Try unplugging both your modem and your router from the power for a minute, and plugging them back in [modem first, then the router] and tell us if it worked. If not, there's an easy way to reset the router back to it's default settings and all should be working.

Also I should mention that it has been working for last 2 weeks but I then unplugged it and it's when I try to reconnect it that I am getting these error messages

Ok have unplugged and now plugged back in. Will try to set radio now

Let us know how it goes. If it's still not going, you may have to ring Virgin Media to check if they have imposed the speed restrictions, which may be the culprit of these problems.

Have also now rebooted radio and it seems to be working!!!!! Thanks for your advice I think it was unpugging modem and router that did the trick

I'm glad that we've been able to assist you. I will now mark this thread as solved.
